Page 15: Operation
GENERAL Before operating this rider for the first time, the owner should operate in an open area without mowing, to become accustomed to the unit. The left side of the mower can be used to trim close to objects. Be sure to read all information in the Safety and Operation sections before attempting to operate this rider and mower.

Page 17: Clutch/Brake Pedal Operation
WARNING Gasoline is highly flammable and must be han- dled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not allow open flame, smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills. CLUTCH/BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION - HYDRO MODELS 1.
Page 18: Stopping The Rider
Operation WARNING Make sure desired direction of travel is clear of objects, people and animals. 1. If you are ready to mow, lower the mower from the transport position using lever (A, figure 11) and set the mowing height using the Dial-A-Cut figure 11).
Page 19: Mowing Pattern & Tips
GENERAL For the first use of the mower, choose a smooth level area. Cut long straight strips overlapping slightly. The size and type of area to be mowed determines the best mowing pattern to use. Obstructions such as trees, fences and buildings must also be considered. Where possible, make one or two passes in a counterclockwise direction around the outside of the area to keep the cut grass off fences and walks.
Page 20 Mowing Patterns & Tips • If mulching baffles are removed, the original deflector must be in operating position for safe side-discharge mowing. How Much Grass To Cut Off Removing too much grass height in one cutting may result in an unsatisfactory cut: windrowing, clumping, or uneven dispersal of clippings may result.
Page 21: Normal Care
SCHEDULE The following schedule should be followed for normal care of your rider and mower. You will need to keep a record of your operating time. Determining operating time is easily accomplished by multiplying the time it takes to do one job by the number of times you’ve done the job, or you can install the optional hour meter.
Page 22: Lubrication
Normal Care LUBRICATION Lubricate the rider and mower as shown in figures 13 - 18. When a grease gun is shown, wipe the fitting clean, apply two or three shots of lithium base automotive *2388B Figure 13. Brake Pedal Pivot Point Figure 14.
Page 23: Battery Maintenance
BATTERY MAINTENANCE Checking the Battery Fluid 1. Raise the seat deck. 2. Remove battery filler cap. Fluid must be even with split ring full mark. If not, add distilled water. 3. Reinstall filler cap. WARNING Be careful when handling the battery. Avoid spilling electrolyte.
Page 24 Normal Care 3. To remove blade for sharpening, use wooden block to hold blade while removing the blade mounting cap- screw (figure 20). 4. Use a file to sharpen blade to fine edge. Remove all nicks and dents in blade edge. If blade is severely damaged, it should be replaced.
Page 25: Storage
Never store the rider, with gasoline in engine or fuel tank, in a heated shelter or in enclosed, poorly venti- lated enclosures. Gasoline fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light (such as a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, etc.) and cause an explosion. Handle gasoline carefully.
Page 26: Starting After Long Term Storage
Storage 11. Transport the rider to a suitable, dry, indoor location. If the rider is to be stored 6 months or longer, block the rider up off the wheels to relieve weight and also to keep the tires off a damp floor. Protect tires from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Page 27: Troubleshooting & Repair
GENERAL WARNING To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on the rider or mower only when the engine is stopped and the parking brake engaged. Always remove the ignition key, disconnect spark plug wire and fasten away from the plug before begin- ning the maintenance, to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
Page 28: Troubleshooting The Mower
Troubleshooting & Repair TROUBLESHOOTING THE MOWER Mower will not raise. 1. Lift cable not properly attached or damaged. Attach or repair. Mower cut is uneven. 1. Mower not leveled properly. See Mower Adjustment. 2. Rider tires not inflated equally or properly. See Normal Care.
Page 29: Discharged Battery
6. Charge the battery until fully charged (i.e. until the specific gravity of the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte temperature is at least 60° F). The best method of making certain a battery is fully charged, but not over charged, is to measure the specific gravity of a cell once per hour.
